This version adds support for cross-directory selection, which means you can select files from multiple different directories and perform operations on them.

Yazi's accessibility also has been greatly improved, including adding color to icons, a new file selection counter, improved visibility of hovered files, enhanced keyword recognition in finds, long path truncation, and a new color system.

As for the plugin system, we have rewritten Yazi's Lua binding using Unsafe Rust, making the initialization process of plugins very inexpensive by lazy-loading app data. This fundamentally solves the difficulty of cross-tab data access, making future plans for dual-pane/tree-view possible, as they can be efficiently implemented as a plugin!

In addition, loaded plugins are now cached, meaning that plugin loading speed will be faster. The improvement in plugin performance directly reflects the overall performance of Yazi because in Yazi, plugins are first-class citizens, with most UI being drawn by built-in UI plugins, and previews and preloads also being done through plugins, which is the biggest driving force for us to constantly improve plugin performance.

Finally, we have added some new APIs that we hope plugin developers will find useful:

  • ya.input(): Request user input;
  • ya.notify(): Send a foreground notification to the user, which is useful for background tasks;
  • ya.hide(): Request terminal control and hide Yazi in the background. This is useful for calling interactive programs like fzf, zoxide, etc., in plugins;
  • ui.Clear(): Clear a specific UI area, which is useful for implementing custom UI layouts.

To implement ya.notify(), we have added a new Vim-like notification component:

Vim-like.notification.mp4

For more changes, please read "What's Changed" below.

Heads up

The exec property will be deprecated in the next major version, v0.3, and will be replaced by run.

Please replace all instances of exec = ... with run = ... in your yazi.toml and keymap.toml if any.
